Tooth Brush

(After writing this post, I went and did some research. Found quite a few interesting things. LOL! Might even cross out what this post has to say...Ekek ekek ekek)


Sometimes I wonder... Why everytime all these companies such as Colgate, Ora-B, Follow Me, and the rest keep coming out with newer toothbrush designs?

You've got the Oral-B Cross Action, Corss Action Vitalizer, Indicator, Advantage, and also Oral-B Stages??? Waa... Nw that one makes sense a bit :) And also macam-macam lagi... :/

I mean, has the previous one become ineffective in brushing teeth? Hehehehe.

For instance... you have colgate toothbrush brand A.... it cleans by applying some sort of rubber thinggy, combined with powerful yet soft bristles so that you could get a better brush so to speak :) And in the end, you get healthy sparkling teeth! A nice range of white ceramic tiles in yer mouth :)

And after a month... comes colgate toothbrush brand B... has additional rubber, designed in a space age type manner that it looks so neat and very2 appealing. And the claims are that it can give you a better clean than any other toothbrush.... Mmmmm... Every other toothbrush. This would mean... even your previous toothbrush Mr Colgate sir? (Or Ms Colgate ma'am for not being a male chauvesnist. hehehehe)

Actually I'm not all stressed out about this, it's just that I find it interesting that teethbrush (I created thi plural word myself. Kekekekeke) come in vearious different designs... and most importantly... in many different price ranges. In Malaysia for instance... you can get the normal looking ones for RM2 to RM4 for a 3-1 pack. The more sophisticated ones, whose designs are almost like nike-shoe-soles-on-a-stick... the prices can go beyond RM7 per toothbrush.

Mak Datuk or Mother Grandfather as some might say (ok... only I say it like that... and only in my blogs!!!) ... The main task is still tooth cleansing. But sometimes... I see the prices are hiked up soooo high that it makes yer teeth fall out... What's the use of a toothbrush when you have no teeth!!!???!!??? ... ok... I m exaggerating here :) But sometimes the prices are kinda out of this world.

But I think there's no need to fret for those who cannot afford the more glitzy, more colourful, more (suuposed-to-be) sophisticated and more expensive brushes. For from my experience... they work the same :) Maybe there's a slight difference i comfort... but that's ony at first. After 2-3 brushes... all feels the same again :)

BUT! I am talking about the good brands here.... which are the mid to high ends. If you buy the wierd-named and low-end-branded ones, you're gonna be in for a gum-bleeder.... cuz the bristles are sometimes too hard, and the design of the brushes aren't that egronimic that when you brush, it kinda slips out of your teeth area and hits your gum. ARGH!!!! I've done that a few times.... EVEN WITH MY COLGATE 3-1 PACK THINGGY!!! Bought it for approx RM5 for 3.

Hehehe. But I think I've strayed away a bit from my original intention of this post.

Why The Different Designs.... that's the focus.

It's all marketing and competition I guess. You dont only want to out do the competitor, but also yer self.

BUT! Its a whole different story with those battery operated toothbrushes (teethbrush) though :) I had one of those... th Oral-B Watthama-call-it-forget-its-name types. Has two bristle design in one head.... Man.. was that a pleasure to use. It was only then that I realized that I had some teeth that I hadn't brushed before!!! HAHAHAHA!!! And I was already 27 by then. kekekeke. Luckily, I had plenty of milk when I was a kid. So I guess the calcium helped me preserve all those un-brushed teeth. kekekeke. Gross also aaa when you think about it some more. hehehehehe.

Anywayz, that's my entry for today. I will start to blog merepek things from now on. Just had an epiphany.... Hmmmm... epiphany.... am I using this word correctly?....
But I'm not talking about that:

Signifying the end of the 12 days of Christmas, Epiphany celebrates the visit of the Three Kings to the infant Jesus as the occasion of the manifestation of the Christ to the gentiles. In Orthodox churches, where it is known as Theophany, the day commemorates the baptism of Jesus and the manifestation of the Trinity. The day is especially important in Latino/a cultures and in Orthodox churches. The Armenian Orthodox Church celebrates the nativity and theophany together. (Christianity)

Hahahhahaha. (Found it when I googled "define: epiphany")...

I'm talking about those sudden realization thinggies :)

Anyway... for all aa you out there... Happy TOOH-BRUSHING!!!!
